Fightstar - Grand Unification (Trustkill)
Have you ever wondered what Trapt would sound like if they turned into an
emocore band? Me neither, until I heard this album. Has Trustkill completely
lost it? Fightstar come hailing from the land of Lostprophets and Bullet For
My Valentine, bands that people enjoy. So where did these English boys go
wrong? Picking up instruments, that’s where. This is one of the most
uninspiring and unoriginal albums I have ever heard. The vocals are
annoying, the guitars, bass, and drumming are all generic and could be
played by anyone just picking up an instrument. I will break this down very
easily for everyone. Take Trapt, Hinder, new Eighteen Visions, and the
screaming of Hawthorne Heights, throw them in a blender, put it on high,
pour it out and you get Fightstar. I had heard nothing but good things about
this band, but apparently everyone I know has bad taste in music. So not
only am I disappointed in this release, I am disappointed in Trustkill for
unveiling this band to the general public. I don't recommend this album to
anyone, but pick this up if you want to hear bad Mall Metal mixed with bad
Emocore.
